Not sure whether we can talk about to be cards or whatever but I just like this deck idea, havent heard anyone else talk about Primeape in DP4, though to be fair I haven't been around. Didnt see any talk of it in the DP4 thread .
Okay... here is the monkey.
Primeape L.41 – Fighting – HP90
Stage 1 – Evolves from Mankey
Poke-Body: Rage Target
If this Pokemon has any damage counters on it, all of this Pokemon’s attacks do an additional 40 damage to any Active Pokemon.
[F][C][C] Lay Out: 50 damage. Primeape is now Confused. Flip a coin, if heads the Defending Pokemon can’t attack during your opponent’s next turn.
Weakness: Psychic (+20)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 1
I thought you could combo this with Unown P (basically lets you place a damage counter on one of your pokemon if Unown P is benched), and Xatu SW. Xatu has a poke-power that lets you move one status condition from your pokemon to the opponent.
So when Primeape confused itself if its still alive, Xatu could pass the confused condition onto the opponent so Primeape can attack again. The target would then have a 25% chance of being able to attack if they didnt retreat or switch, sounds pretty annoying and the damage is savage for that energy cost.
One of my team members came up with the Xatu strat with Golduck in DP3 (as Im sure a few people did, but as I said, I havent been looking for it), but I think it works much better with Primeape . I dunno if the set up would be too difficult but two stage 1's shouldn't be too hard with Pachirisu and/or call energy.
If anyone wants a deck list I've got one, but I don't want to make the post too long.
Edit: Ack to spelling, remembering to capitlise every letter then not checking you've spelt PriMEApe's name right
